GARMENT-HOOK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 19, 1909.

Application filed February 26, 1908. Serial No. 417,938.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUTHER A. Ynrsnn, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain 1m rovements in Garment-Hooks, of which the following is a specification.

One object of my invention is to so arrange the wires constituting the two main thread holding loops of a garment hook that it shall be a practical impossibility for these to be separated or pulled apart by any lateral strain which may be imposed upon them under conditions of use.

Another object of the-invention is to provide a garment hook made of a single wire so formed that portions of the two main thread holding loops shall be interlaced in order to prevent their separation when they are subjected to lateral stress.

These objects and other advantageous ends I secure as hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of a garment hook constructed according to my invention.

In this drawing the single wire of which the hook is formed is so bent as to provide a bill a; a body portion a; two main thread holding loops or and a a bump a and an auxiliary thread holding loop a The single piece of wire constituting the hook has one end bent into the shape of a flattened circle to form the auxiliary thread holding loop a and from thence passes to the hump a. The wire then extends from the hump to the first thread holding loop a and thence toward the rear of the hook; the length between this loop and the rear constituting one side of the body a. From this said wire bends upwardly and forwardly parallel to the body portion, and is then curved so as to form the point of the bill and extended toward the rear to form the bill a, from thence passing forwardly in a straight run constituting the second side of the body a.

It will be noted that the auxiliary thread holding loop a extends around both of the lengths of wire at the back end of the bill or rear of the hook, and that the end of such wire is so bent into the space between the bill and the body of the hook as to form a closed loop from which it is practically impossible for threads to escape.

The second portion of the body of the hook, after extending almost to the front thereof, is bent down and after passing under the portion of the wire joining the hump and the thread loop a is brought up through this loop, bent down into the plane of said loop a and is finally bent into a closed shape to form the third thread loop a The end of the Wire occurring in this loop extends adjacent to a portion of the wire constituting the loop a so that the escape of the holding threads from the loop a is prevented.

The great advantage of the above described construction, in addition to those noted, resides in the fact that the two thread loops a and a are interlaced and therefore cannot be separated even by severe lateral strains upon them. As a consequence, the hooks do not become distorted or pulled out of shape even under the most severe conditions of use and in addition both of the thread loops in question are so formed that the escape from them of the holding threads is rendered most difficult, if not practically impossible.

I claim- 1. A garment hook comprising a body portion and two main thread holding loops, the wire leading to one of said loops passing through the other thread loop and being bent to form a thread holding structure after said passage.

2. A garment hook having a body portion comprising two substantially parallel lengths of the same wire, one of said lengths terminating in a thread loop and the other being passed through the said thread loop and then bent to form a second thread loop, the extremity of the wire forming said second loop being turned to lie parallel to the length of the body portion and terminating in engagement with that part of the loop-forming Ivire immed1ately adjacent to the first thread 3. A garment hook consisting of a bill, a body portion formed of two substantially parallel lengths of the same wire, a third length of the wire bent to form a hump and extending between the two parts of the body portion, the ends of one part of the body In testimony whereof, I have signed my portion and of saidlength forming the hump name to this specification, in the presence of being bent to form a thread loop, and the two subscribing witnesses,
